This has been a really exciting wimbledon so far. Great 5 setters, drama, and good matches all around. Tsonga had a good match today, and Nadal's is competitive as well.

Not surprisingly Isner lost today in straight sets.

But he hit ZERO aces! That's crazy.

It was painful to watch poor guy he was so gassed. He could hardly make the effort to return a ball.

I admire him for not conceding though, good on him!

Was betting against Isner not guaranteed money? hehe.

He's not that great of a player to begin with anyways. It's all about his 6'9 body and his serve.

But that's important on grass. I think he could have won a couple of rounds more if he didn't get involved in that crazy match.

I remember he had match points at like 30-30, that would have saved him 4 hours!

Nadal currently down 2 sets to 1 so a guy whose name I can't pronounce.

Nadal's body is going to fall apart on him.

I hate this gamesmanship. A player like Nadal should not have to resort to these tactics to throw his opponent off.

I also feel like he called the trainer just to show that he was injured in the event that he lost. Almost like an insurance policy against people questioning his poor play.

Man this Wimby has been unbelievable though.
